men are looking at the Yarnell-Hazard
portion of the Shanklin ranch near
Anaheim with a view of purchasing
the tract for colony purposes. Should
the negotiations come to head the

the lands, lay out a townsite on the
California Central Railway, which
passes through the tract, and do each
and every other thing to thoroughly
exploit the property and cause it to be
settled up. There are 750 acres
of land in the patch, and the
price named is $3.50 per acre.
